Well, we came here to be put to work.
Our first painting project was some art in the Takambe Youth Center on the grounds of the clinic. We were assigned 6 hand picked youth (18-21yrs) who we thought would take more ownership of the project if they were involved.
We prepped (sanded and scrubbed) the 2 large walls in two separate rooms, and have painted a lot and are 
about 85% done at this point. The kids are really into it and everyone seems pleased, so far. Our next project is awaiting glaze to be delivered from another city, and another is waiting for the clinic to do the base coat.
But I really wanted to brag on what we’ve done so far :). Tomorrow I’ll show you the other room’s art work!

This is fantastic! It looks so cool–I assume you sketched and they help fill in? Sounds just like what When Helping Hurts is all about–ownership. Thanks for keeping us up to date. Is that a zebra?
This looks so cool! I can hardly wait to see more pictures!!!
You need a new clock in the upper right corner!! It just has San Diego and Italy. I think you need to add one more…
Robbie. as website coordinator, i can attest that this request has been made a few times.
However, it is not possible. That clock was just a freebie out on the internet when she requested it there for her italy trip.
I can either remove the clock entirely or leave it as is.
If you are confused at the time there, however, you can go to google and merely type in “What time is it in Malawi” and it will show you an accurate time.
or use this direct link:

I think it’s cute that the only “full” part we see is of the zebra’s bottom 😉 haha…can’t wait to see the rest!! Looks adorable already!
PS – Sorry we missed your skype the other day…we’ll have to try and catch you either Sat. or Sun. xoxo
